Time for new?

[DK-Tandy]

i take it its time for new ??







ive never replaced a chain and sprocket set in my life so i wouldnt know if they need changing??

also my chain was tight for no slack??

[Wozza]

Yeah, I would replace both. That chain is probably full of stiff links.

Errmmm.... when was it lubricated last?

[DK-Tandy]

ive owned it from 29th, rode it about 15 foot.. and i havent lub'd it..

does anyone know where to get the kits from??

ebay, get a decent chain, mine came with an Iris o-ring and it's a bit crap, stretches every other time I use it and constantly needs stiff links loosening despite being lubed after every use. Would recommend D.I.D, had one on my 125 and needed adjusting once every 3 or 4 months, and even then it wasn't much at all, 15k and I think I had well over half the range left

You need to buy some chain lube...

A dry chain will overheat & snap, going one of two ways...

1) Thro the radiator of the car behind you

2) Thro your crankcases and into your gearbox...

[veefer400]

One way to see - try pulling the chain off the back sprocket, should be very snug - here we have the C&S off my NC23 just after I got it... new chain & sprockets were amongst the first things I bought!



Sprocket teeth should be symmetrical & unhooked:

that chain is fucked, that would go in the bin along with the sprockets

[DK-Tandy]

how much would i be looking to spend for chain and sprockets??

You can get cheap chains, but they don't last as long. Get the best you can afford.
